On an afternoon in December of 1991, a woman in small town Utah opened up her mailbox.

Inside was a credit card bill that was addressed to her husband who had disappeared a week earlier.

And the woman found this to be really strange because as far as she knew, her husband didn't have a credit card.

However, when she finally ripped open the envelope and

actually read the charges, she realized that her missing husband might have been keeping an even

bigger secret. But before we get into today's story, if you're a fan of the strange,

dark, and mysterious delivered in story format, then you come to the right place because that's all we do,

your car close enough to theirs so they are not able to open up their driver's side door.

story. Around 6.30 p.m. on December 10, 1991. A 22-year-old security guard named Brian Ruff, sat inside of a guard shack at the Kennecock Copper Mine in northern Utah reading a college textbook.

The shack was barely big enough for one person to sit inside of, and there were windows on all four sides looking out into the total darkness.

The sun was already down, and this was a really isolated part of the mine with no lights or other

buildings nearby. So apart from a little bit of moonlight on the snow, it was basically pitch black

outside. Brian had worked as a security guard for this mine for a little over a year, but he'd only

been stationed at this particular guard shack for a couple of weeks now. And in his opinion, it was the

worst post he could have been assigned to. His job was to guard this chain link gate on a remote

service road that led into the canyons. This was a really out-of-the-way entrance into the mine,

which meant that not a lot of vehicles came this way. So the job was basically just really boring.

But it was also simultaneously very dangerous.
